MMA coach and ecological approach to martial arts pioneer, Scott Sievewright, returns to Combat Learning to discuss his newly published academic paper on ecological dynamics for MMA and his evolving conception of martial arts ideas such as “the fundamentals.”
We also talk about problems of practice in the constraints-led approach, especially how difficult it is to scale proper constraints-led coaching to a growing mat.
On top of that, there’s lots of talk of little tactics that have been working for Primal MMA on coaching striking in a safe but representative manner.
If you aren’t already familiar with Scott, be sure to check out the Primal MMA Coaching podcast.
